The boys opened up about “the shit” they’ve dealt with since taking over the national breakfast show from popular duo Matt & Alex in 2017.

“It gets pretty grim – that was be expected,” Harvey revealed. “It would be a worrying thing if we just walked into this job and everybody immediately loved us. I like that we have to win people over and show them that we can do a good show.”

After praising a range of key mentors in their young career including triple j content director Ollie Wards and talent manager Brad March, Craig touched on the frequent comparisons made between Stapleton’s voice and one of the best Australian radio comedians of all time – Hamish Blake.

“Some people think I put the voice on,” he started. “I’ve had to give away the podcast,” referring to his decision to stop listening to Hamish & Andy.

“It’s hard because you don’t want to be associated in a way because you’re all about finding a point of difference in the market,” Stapleton explained. “When those comparisons are constantly being drawn, some people may think it’s a blessing, but it’s really a curse.”
